The aim of this study was to assess the attitudes of oil wrestlers towards healthy diet. A group of 302 male oil wrestlers participated in the study. The 'Attitude Scale on Healthy Nutrition' developed by Tekkurşun Demir and Cicioğlu (2019) was used as a data collecting tool. There was not a statistically significant difference in the sub-dimensions of healthy diet regarding the age and sports age of the wrestlers who participated in the study. According to the state of education, it was found that postgraduate students had notably lower levels of emotion towards nutrition and bad eating habits than high school and less than high school students. It was detected that the head wrestlers were considerably higher in the level of knowledge about nutrition than the deck middle size wrestlers (18 years, 90 kilos) and in the sub-dimensions of positive eating habits than the small middle small size wrestlers. Among the wrestlers who took part in the study, 82.4% of them participate in various activities in their spare time. Participants in outdoor activities were found to have higher levels of knowledge about nutrition than participants in indoor, cultural-artistic-social and other activities. Participants in cultural-artistic-social activities had notably lower levels of poor eating habits than participants in indoor, physical, outdoor and other activities. Wrestlers who do not smoke were rated to have significantly lower malnutrition habits. In the level of knowledge about nutrition, those residing in metropolitan areas were found to be significantly higher than those residing in rural areas; in contrast, in the dimension of feelings towards nutrition, those living in the metropolitan areas were found to be notably lower than those living in rural areas. In malnutrition habits, those living in the metropolitan areas were found to be notably lower than those living in the rural areas. In the level of knowledge about nutrition, those with a monthly income of 8001-10000TL were found to be significantly higher than those with a monthly income of 1000TL or less.
